A law student was told to remove his turban at a bar by staff claiming the establishment has a “no headwear policy.”

Amrik Singh, 22, said he was enjoying a night out with friends in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, a town in the United Kingdom, when a bouncer approached him telling him to remove his turban if he wanted to stay, BBC reports.

In an audio recording, Singh is heard calmly explaining to Rush Bar’s bouncer that he is a Sikh and that the turban is not headwear but part of his religion’s requirements.
